Sri lanka's test team :

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Sri lanka Test team :

Test squad: Dimuth Karunaratne (c), Oshada Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya De Silva, Dinesh Chandimal, Kamindu Mendis, Niroshan Dickwella, Nishan Madushka, Ramesh Mendis, Prabath Jayasuriya, Chamika Karunaratne, Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando, Vishwa Fernando, Milan Rathnayake

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Sri lanka included Madushka who have wonderful series vs Eng Lion with 241 & 100 in 2 un-official test, plus scored 150 in practice match also vs Eng lion.

He has scored 3389 runs in 38 first-class matches, including a career-best of 300 not out.

Milan Rathnayake, a 26-year-old pacer, has picked up 42 wickets in 22 first-class appearances, with one five-wicket haul. He bagged a three-wicket against the Lions recently.

According to Cricinfo if india beat Aus 4/0 or 2/1 plus SL must need to win Test series 2/0 vs NZ to Qualify for WTC final

Pathun Nissanka left out surprised me

 

[Socerer 01]

Pathun Nissanka left out surprised me

the Nishan dude they’ve selected reminds me of Nissanka himself a few years ago

maybe they want Nissanka as a white ball specialist for now and focus on that?

 

[Athlai]

Test wise I think a big ol shakeup would be nice

Rachin
Latham
Conway
Williamson
Phillips
Blundell
Mitchell
Ajaz/Bracewell
Henry
Southee
Duffy/Shipley

Notes: I'd pick Boult and Jamieson if available.

Probably but 15 test innings 537 runs at 38 Average with 5 -50's & 100 not bad but yes you are right 1700 runs in white ball cricket good Int'L stats

he wasn’t in the 1st team recently, they have preferred BOP Fernando for sometime

Rachin
Latham

Phillips
Blundell
Mitchell
Ajaz/Bracewell
Henry
Southee
Duffy/Shipley

Ravindra
Conway
Young
Williamson
Latham
Phillips
Blundell+
Shipley
Sodhi (Smith is it's super seamy)
Henry
Southee

 

[Flem274*]

Sri Lankas best chance in a while. I know they're battling but I wouldn't be surprised by all 3 series results.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Ravindra
Conway
Young
Williamson
Latham
Phillips
Blundell+
Shipley
Sodhi (Smith is it's super seamy)
Henry
Southee

So you'd drop Daryl Mitchell who averages 56, bat Latham at 5, and pick all of Ravindra, Young, and Phillips?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

13 (?) man squad I'd love to see:

Latham
Conway
Williamson
Phillips
Mitchell
Blundell
Smith
Sodhi
Henry
Southee
Tickner


Ravindra (can bat 3 depending on conditions - everyone drops down one & Sodhi misses out)

Shipley (bowling cover - hopefully Tickner isn't injured as would be sameness in attack)

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Test wise I think a big ol shakeup would be nice

Rachin
Latham
Conway
Williamson
Phillips
Blundell
Mitchell
Ajaz/Bracewell
Henry
Southee
Duffy/Shipley

Notes: I'd pick Boult and Jamieson if available.

Mitchell should bat ahead of Blundell

 

[ataraxia]

Rachin
Conway
Williamson
Latham
Mitchell
Blundell
Phillips (sorry Will)

Then whoever four quicks, preferably not all the same, and preferably one of Smith/Shipley.
